Pleased to meet
the motherfucker with the first laugh
expect the best but you the glass is half empty
you're lookin for a sacrificial lamb
I know you secret

Try not miss the warnings
you know you have to own up for yourself this time
the answer's inside

Karma has come
to take a payment from your ass now
your second guessing has you beaten down
and so empty
the misery your company brought to you

Try not miss the warnings
you know you have to own up for yourself this time
the answer's inside
You're scared of the changes coming
you know you better hold on to yourself
this time
The answer's on the inside

Here comes the payback
you think you it all
but it's my turn
to tell you what i see
I know your secrets

Try not miss the warnings
you know you have to own up for yourself this time
the answer's on the inside inside
You're scared of the changes coming
you know you better hold on to yourself
this time
The answer's on the inside

I don't want to leave a blood stain
I just need to try and understand
it's always good when it's in my hands
but it seems to hurt when someone
tries to be alone
I know it's wrong
I need control
I'm scared to be alone

Cause i can be your friend
unless you try to be who I am
and I will let you stand
if you let me take control
cause too much is never enough

Nevermind about your last chance
I can see the writing on the wall
if you follow in my footsteps
I can promise anything but
you will be alone
I know its wrong
I need control
I'm scared to be alone
I'm scared to be alone

Cause i can be your friend
unless you try to be who I am
and I will let you stand
if you let me take control
cause too much is never enough

Too much is never enough
Even if you hold on- it not enough
But when i take control- its never
too much is never- enough
Hang on

Cause i can be your friend
unless you try to be who I am
and I will let you stand
if you let me take control
cause too much is never enough

I woke today
to the strangest thing i have to say
reminding me of just the other day
not today
You heard me say the same thing
again I say
no excuses for the other day
sorry always seems so hard to say
I twist the words
but still they mean the same old thing but I

Don't know how to face today
no matter how much you think you gave to me
I don't know how to face today
will you ever forgive me for all that i put you through

I change and see
what's the reason for you hatin' me
I try and find another way to make you see
I'm not the same
You hear me say it's killin me
cause I

Don't know how to face today
no matter how much you think you gave to me
I don't know how to face today
will you ever forgive me for all that i put you through

Save me
Save me
Save me

Inside it kills me
to know it makes you feel
your hope's gone

I don't know how to face today
no matter how much you think you gave to me
I don't know how to face today
Will you ever forgive me for all that i put you through

Save me

I for one will say
I haven't seen if all I know
a second chance for me
was long ago so strange still
to think about
the world i took that brought me here
Who am I
supposed to be
I breath, I Bleed, I'm here to show you all
My mistakes
It's right here beside you

Lie- next to me
and you'll see im the scapegoat
I'm here to tell you that the ride's
not for free
look at me I'm the scapegoat
what will you do about it

Find a memory
to look at life and understand that
I can't stop
whats supposed to be
but i can show you what
it will take
if you would shut the fuck up and listen

Lie- next to me
and you'll see im the scapegoat
I'm here to tell you that the ride's
not for free
look at me I'm the scapegoat
what will you do about it

LIE
SCAPEGOAT

Lie- next to me
and you'll see im the scapegoat
I'm here to tell you that the ride's
not for free
look at me I'm the scapegoat
what will you do about it

Seems as though you're here again
Even so this day wont end
Always a step behind me, been
Creates a vision that blinds within
If you could only see

The thought the burns inside
Gives you a feeling that you think will hurt me
A sight that burn the eyes
And you'll catch me and I know it kills you
IT KILLS YOU

Flip the switch and start again
Get the feeling every now and then
That your eyes are watching me
Creates a burning inside of me
I wish that you could feel
ALL THE SHIT THAT YOU PUT ME THROUGH

The thought that burns inside
Gives you a feeling that you think will hurt me
A sight that burns the eyes
And you'll never catch me and I know it kills you
IT KILLS YOU

Of course I saw you stumble
Always a step ahead
I coulda sworn I saw you say
Your confusing what you see
Confusing what I mean
I'll show you everything you thought you'd ever taught to me

The thought that burns inside
Gives you a feeling that you think will hurt me
A sight that burns the eyes
And you'll never catch me and I know it kills you
IT KILLS YOU

SO THINK ABOUT THIS AS YOU WALK AWAY
YOU LOST IT ALL AND NOW
IT'S COMING DOWN
IT'S COMING DOWN

Of course I saw you stumble
Always a step ahead
I coulda sworn I saw you say
Your confusing what you see
Confusing what I mean

Beneath the water
that's fallin from my eyes
lays the soul i left behind
The edge of sorrow
was reached but now I'm fine
I fill the whole I had inside
I pray it doesn't scream my name
so I light a flame
and let it breathe
the air that kills the shame

I'm up, I'm down
Like a roller coaster racing through my life
I've- erased the past again

Brisky morning
I feel like I'm alive
I can't believe i made it through
this time
The edge of sorrow I lived in for some time
has left the whole i had inside
The burden as i drown my hate
was the last thing i ever felt
or thought i could escape

I'm up, I'm down
Like a roller coaster racing through my life
I've- erased the past again
I'm up, I'm down
Like a roller coaster racing through my life
I've- erased the past again

You left here and broke me down
the difference is this time around
I will not let you see me drown

I'm up, I'm down
Like a roller coaster racing through my life
I've- erased the past again
I'm up, I'm down
Like a roller coaster racing through my life
I've- erased the past again

Beneath the water
that's fallin from my eyes

Passing through this life with so much regret
It feels like I haven't got over it yet
It takes so long for these wounds to heal
I'm knockin' down walls, takin' my time
I gotta get outta here

Where will I go?
Who will I become?
I'm coming on like an elephant gun

[chorus]
Reaching for the piece of life that I can't find
The sun keeps fading away
Searching for the feeling that will never come
The return of the prodigal son

[solo 1]

Last night the moon seemed to look so empty
I fell into a pit of despair (goin' nowhere)
I never thought that these wounds would - HEAL!
I fell to my knees, the rain came down
I thought I could touch the sky

What have I done, why was I so wrong?
Hear the pop of my elephant gun!

[chorus]

[solo 2]

[chorus]

The Prodigal Son
His time has just begun
I finally found a feeling
The return of the Prodigal Son

Let's go ahead and give ‘em their money's worth

I wanna hold you up
to let you see yourself
I'm sick of watchin you fall on your face again
I wanna help you
you have to helop yourself
I know you won't
communicate to me
I fucking hate this
Sufferin long enough

Constrict my hands around you
you'll never breath again
your wish has come
no tellin what you'll see
will it be the end

Temptation fill you up
no sign of slowing down
you have to stop before you slowly turn around
you never listen
to understand a word I say
you keep on pushing
the same old fucking line to me
watching you crumble
sufferin all your life

Constrict my hands around you
you'll never breath again
your wish has come
no tellin what you'll see
will it be the end
Constrict my hands around you
you'll never breath again
your wish has come
no tellin what you'll see
will it be the end

You never listen
to understand a word I say
you keep on pushin
the same old fuckin line to me
watching you crumble
sufferin all your life

Constrict my hands around you
you'll never breath again
your wish has come
no tellin what you'll see
will it be the end
So try and share the story
of why you think its gonna wait
I wish that i could tell you what
we'll be if it's not the end

I'm the only one
that sings the same old song
I know my destiny was made
long ago- I've yet to make a change
it's time to rearrange

I understand it seems I'm the last to notice
how anybody feels
is it really cause I feel like I'm the one that's owed it
Am I wrong
Am I wrong

Look at me the same
still i feel the blame
restricting myself from moving on
the punishment for never being whole
I've been like this too long

Sometimes I know it seems I'm the last to notice
how anybody feels
is it really cause I feel like I'm the one that's owed it
Am I wrong
Am I wrong

All my pride leaves me vacant
for the sorrow I'm to blame
but I know if I could just let go
I could find a better way

Only- am I the only one
who thinks and breathes when no one sees
I'm the only one

I understand it seems I'm the last to notice
how anybody feels
Is it really cause I feel like I'm the one that's owed it
Am I wrong
Am I wrong
Give me just a chance
I've noticed
what I've done
what I've done

I learned a lesson on my first day
you were far to divine to say
how can you hold on to a mistake
and I told you why

Don't defend what you didn't say
another taste for conflict anyway
pretend again who you are today
to give a reason to contradict again

You were foreer with a bitter mind
and the darkness is consuming
You talk talk the bullshit and you rob the blind
now you live a lie

Don't defend what you didn't say
(I've got) another taste for conflict anyway
pretend again who you are today
(and try) to give a reason to contradict (again)
Don't defend what you didn't say
(I've got) another taste for conflict anyway
pretend again who you are today
(and try) to give a reason (to contradict again)

I learned a lesson on my first day
you were far to divine

Don't defend what you didn't say
another taste for conflict anyway
pretend again who you are today
to give a reason to contradict again
Don't defend what you didn't say
(I've got) another taste for conflict anyway
pretend again who you are today
(and try) to give a reason (to contradict again)

You can't ever accept your fight so
What's the point of asking when i know the only answer is
It's my fault you live this so called
life where all your consequenses fall on everyone else
making everbody struggle
I'm finding it ever so clear

If I had so much to say
why was I the one to walk away
You never found a way to change
That's why I had to walk away

?
Find another way to change the story for everyone
I'm not buying the shit that you're talking
Live with your decision consequences have come around
and it's time for you to struggle
you're finding it ever so clear

If I had so much to say
why was I the one to walk away
You never found a way to change
That's why I had to walk away

If I had so much to say
why was I the one to walk away
You never found a way to change
That's why I had to walk away

If I had so much to say
why was I the one to walk away
You never found a way to change
That's why I had to walk away
If I had so much to say
why was I the one to walk away
You never found a way to change
That's why I had to walk away
